Start with the first day of menstruation.
Taking your basal body temperature reliably every
morning is one of the key elements of our system.
The basal body temperature is the temperature im-
mediately after waking up, before getting up, before
becoming active in any way. The more regularly you
take your temperature, particularly at the beginning,
the faster the device gets to know your personal cycle.
Place the temperature sensor under your tongue,
right at the back, either to the left or the right and
close your mouth. While taking your temperature,
the temperature sensor should not be moved.

Tips for taking your temperature
Lady-Comp wakes you with the alarm. Press the button to turn the alarm
off. To take your temperature, press the button again. The “thermometer”
symbol is blinking; Lady-Comp is ready to take your temperature.
– Now place the sensor under your tongue and close your mouth.
– It will take 30 to 60 seconds to take your temperature. If no temperature
can be taken after 3 minutes the process is automatically terminated.
– The display will show temperature values between 34.5 to 41.0
degrees Celsius or 94.20 to 105.00 degrees Fahrenheit.
– If your temperature value is above 37.8 °C or 99.9 °F, the
temperature display alternates with the letter “F” for fever.
– When finishing the temperature reading, you hear a signal tone
and the ascertained temperature value appears on the display.
Your fertility is displayed for that day.
Important notes:
Temperature reading time period
The temperature reading time limit is the time during which you can
perform the daily temperature measurement. Lady-Comp monitors
the daily temperature measuring time period. The temperature
measuring time period is generally independent of the alarm and is
calculated from the time you took your temperature previously (+/- 3
hours). The temperature measuring time period comprises 6 hours
and begins and ends three hours before and after the last tempera-
ture measuring time if this is different from the alarm time.
Tips for temperature reading time period:
– You can identify the reading time period from the illuminated thermometer symbol on the home screen.
– During the temperature reading time period pressing any key will start a temperature reading.
– We recommend that you allow Lady-Comp to wake you up.
– If you wake up during the temperature reading time period, i.e. to look after your child, take your
temperature.
– If you wake up after the temperature reading time period, don’t take your temperature.
– You may reset the temperature reading time period at any point by changing the alarm time
(i.e. on weekends or for shift work).
If your temperature is not taken over a three-day period, then the temperature reading time period is cleared, and the temperature can be
taken the next day only by activating the alarm. The temperature measuring time period will then be set by the alarm time (+/- 3 hours).
Important:
Please confirm “M” on at least three consecutive days.
If you have “M” without being asked by the device,
activate “M” as described. If you have accidentally
entered “M”, you may return to “M” to edit it for the past
three days.

After taking your temperature, it is possible that the “M” for menstruation
will blink.
– To confirm “M” press the key up for Yes.
– To not confirm “M” press the key down for No.
Once Lady-Comp knows your cycle, the device will ask you about “M” on
the days that menstruation is expected.
– It begins to ask (“M” blinking) two days before menstruation is expected.
– When “M” is done, Lady-Comp will stop asking for “M”.

When not to take your temperature
Lady-Comp uses its knowledge of your cycle and
available temperature values to calculate the future
cycle course and resulting from this, the fertility.
Increases in temperature due to flu, lack of sleep,
excess alcohol consumption and/or medication
with thermal effects are “abnormal” and will be
recognized by the device as such. Generally, it is
recommended to cancel the daily temperature
measurement in case of a fever, when taking
medication, or after a night of partying, so as not
to enter too many “abnormal” temperatures into
the device.
Fever display
If your temperature value is above 37.8 °C or 99.9 °F, the temperature display alternates with
the letter “F” for fever. Fever is recorded, however, the fever temperature value is not included
in the fertility calculation.

Cancel temperature measurement
By pressing the “OK” button for 3 seconds the temperature reading will be canceled and
you return to the home screen. The temperature may be taken again while still within the
temperature measuring time period.
The device displays your temperature and your fertility for the day; this
data is valid for 24 hours, and accurate from the very first day. The num-
ber of “green” days increases cautiously and systematically, while the
“red” days are narrowed down. The Pearl Index is calculated as 0.7
(99.3%) from the first day on. If the device has not received any input for
a long period of time, or receives information that it cannot evaluate, the
number of “yellow” days increases.

Pregnancy display
– As early as 4 to 5 days after fertilization, “red - yellow - green” blink
alternately (if an “SI” entry was made). This early display is especially
valuable to allow you to begin changing your lifestyle to prepare for
baby’s arrival.
– After the 15th day, Lady-Comp baby will display “probable pregnancy.”
The fertility symbol will blink “red – yellow – green”.
– After the 18th day post fertilization, Lady-Comp baby confirms pregnancy.
All three colors will be illuminated.

This menu indicates the conception date and
date of birth of your planned baby. Initially it
will be a prediction derived from the expected
ovulation day within your cycle. The predic-
tion will blink beginning on the 4th cycle day.
After ovulation has been confirmed, the calcu-
lated dates of conception and birth will remain
static. If “SI” has been entered, a gender pre-
diction will also appear.
Restart after pregnancy
In the first weeks after birth you will not be
fertile. We recommend resuming your tempera-
ture measurement six weeks after the birth of
your child. At first Lady-Comp baby shows
“yellow”. Slight fluctuations in temperature
indicate that the normal cycle is re-establishing
itself. Once the first ovulation has occurred,
Lady-Comp baby will begin to show the calcu-
lated fertility display.

Sample values
Lady-Comp comes with pre-set example values.
These are automatically deleted once you have
taken your first temperature or entered menstrua-
tion data. The sample values will appear again if
you delete all of your data.
Loss of data
There is no risk of accidentally losing your data,
even if the batteries are depleted.
After the pill
(or hormonal contraception)
Prior to starting with Lady-Comp, you must stop
taking any form of hormonal contraception. The
first bleeding after stopping hormonal contra-
ception is not a menstruation, but a hormone-
conditioned withdrawal bleeding. Do not enter
“M” for this bleeding.
Pearl-Index
The Pearl Index is the value by which the safety
of a contraceptive method is specified in med-
icine. The daily fertility displays of Lady-Comp
have a Pearl Index of 0.7, or in other words,
99.3%.
Example:
If 100 women use contraception for one year and
one of them becomes pregnant, this corresponds
to a Pearl Index of 1.0.
Program
The program is based on all natural family plan-
ning research data. It contains a database of
more then 1 million cycles and uses biomathe-
matical forecasting calculations as well as the
very latest computer techniques. The more regu-
larly you measure, the faster the device gets to
know and interpret your individual cycle. It will
show more and more green days (infertile) and
the red days (fertile days) will decrease as the
device learns your individual rhythm. Depending
on your individual cycle pattern you will have
between 7 and 12 red days per cycle.
Prognosis
Our displays in relation to ovulation and planning
are calculated prognoses. Once a menstrual cycle
is completed and a new one begins with menstru-
ation, Lady-Comp will confirm the day of ovula-
tion retrospectively. The confirmed ovulation day
will be recognized after the 4th cycle day of your
next menstrual cycle.
Travel and time zones
When travelling in different time zones you have
the ability to change the date and time to the
local time. Set and activate the alarm to the
desired new reading time. Lady-Comp will be
ready to take your measurement the next morning.
Repeat the procedure when you return home.
Daylight Saving Time
Set the time forward or backward in the summer
or in winter, as described on page 9.
Shift work
Set and activate the alarm to the desired new
wake up time. Your computer will be ready to
take your measurement the next day. Do the
same at the next shift change.
Restart after interruption in use
The time, date, and year continue to work auto-
matically. The measurement period is disabled
when you don’t take your temperature and needs
to be reset by activating the alarm clock. Set the
alarm for the next morning (before midnight)
and continue as normal.

does not automatically restart, please remove the
batteries and reinsert them. If you want to make
a data transfer via USB, check the function of the
connecting cable. USB communication is only
possible with those devices that allow connec-
tion to a USB mass storage device with FAT data
file system, for example PCs running Windows or
Linux, and many other devices.

even without a utilization program. To do this,
insert the micro SD update card and the batter-
ies into the device. The bootloader will erase
the program memory first and then reinstall the
update. You can follow the progress on the indi-
cator bar. Make sure that you use fully charged
batteries for the update so that the process can
be completed.

measurements or M input for a long period of
time (4 days) and a new cycle start is expected
during this time, it will remind the user to enter
any possibly forgotten data retroactively.
Action:
– Activate M retroactively.
